Why do people use the sports section for football questions when there is quite clearley a football section. Can we have a dedicated football subject instead of putting it in sports?
Probably because most people think the sub-sections are a waste of time and space. There are more questions posted in the wrong topic now that there ever was. But it looks like we the users are being ingnored.
Two reasons: firstly, if people aren't familiar with the site, they will not be aware of the sub-topics so will just click straight on Sport and post their question there. Secondly, it is easy if you are on 'Sport' and want to post a question to simply forget about the sub-section.
